Pixelmine is a social networking system that enhances user empowerment by decentralizing control and governance across multiple nodes or servers.

Mobile Application

Pixelmine's approach promotes a more democratic online environment, allowing users more significant influence over their interactions and community standards. By distributing authority rather than concentrating it, Pixelmine fosters increased transparency, security, and user trust, ultimately creating a more resilient and vibrant digital community where members can actively shape their online experience.

The fundamental idea is similar to that of other decentralized systems. It entails distributing authority, control, and decision-making among various nodes rather than concentrating them in a single central entity.

Three key characters are integral to the network: the User, the Storer, and the PXL Server. Users are simply individuals who engage with the SNS mobile application, contributing content such as photos, videos, comments, replies, messages, and calls. Storers function like nodes in a blockchain network; they are responsible for storing and distributing user data while also verifying each other's integrity and consistency. The PXL Server plays a crucial role by storing private user information, including first names, last names, and nicknames. Additionally, it oversees the implementation of the entire network's business logic.

What distinguishes Pixelmine from other decentralized systems is our unique approach to incentivizing the network by awarding points to both users and storers. Users earn more points the more they engage with the mobile app, while storers accumulate points based on the volume of data they host. Additionally, storers receive points for the speed at which they deliver data to users. These points have monetary value, determined by specific calculations.

Pixelmines's decentralization plays a crucial role in strengthening democracy by reducing the concentration of power over information. In traditional centralized systems, a few entities control vast amounts of data, leading to risks of manipulation, surveillance, and censorship. Decentralized data structures, empower individuals by ensuring transparency, security, and autonomy over their personal information. This fosters trust in democratic processes, as users can access accurate, verifiable information without undue influence from corporate or governmental entities. By minimizing single points of control, data decentralization helps prevent misinformation, enhances accountability, and promotes a more inclusive, participatory democracy.
